Hi all, I have a perl script which needs to be run by an 5.8 version of perl. I want to use this perl (version 5.8) instead of the standard one(default or installed). I have this perl (versin 5.8) on a standard location. which can be accessed by all systems in my lan. I am aware that this can be done by setting PATH variable. But i dont want my script users to do this(i.e, setting the path variable by themselves), i want to handle this(using non standard perl.exe instead of the standard one)in my own script. Is there any way to do this inside the perl script.
